E-mail our South Dakota resident agent (registered agent), order online or call us at 1-800-669-9805 for further information. We'll setup your registered agency right off or we can arrange service to begin upon expiration of your current registered agent's period of service.

Whatever your choice, you can expect our South Dakota registered agent to provide quality service at a reasonable price: $99 per year. If you are either paying more than $99 or receiving less service than you desire, please consider that you can easily comply with South Dakota laws requiring an agent and a registered office --- and you can do so without overpaying or sacrificing quality and dependability.

The reason is that was founded many years ago by a veteran corporate lawyer and statutory agent. We've had a lot of experience; and in addition our network of practicing lawyers throughout the US provides dependable registered agent, statutory agent, and resident agent service everywhere --- plus other corporate and legal services. We also serve the District of Columbia. We don't have an agent in the Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico, but if you need an agent there, we'll get on it. We can help you with an extra-provincial corporation if you want to do business in Canada.

Some facts you should know about a registered agent in South Dakota:

"registered agent," "statutory agent" and "resident agent" are three names for the same thing: an agent authorized by a company to receive documents and notices. (Since the three terms all refer to a Resident of the state acting as an AGENT, we have coined the term "ragent" to include them all).

Your South Dakota registered agent may be (1) a domestic company formed under South Dakota corporate law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in South Dakota or (3) an adult individual who resides in South Dakota.

It is important to note that a South Dakota registered agent must have a South Dakota street address rather than a post office box and that the registered agent must sign a consent to be registered agent and file it with the South Dakota Secretary of State.

APPOINTING A NEW SOUTH DAKOTA REGISTERED AGENT

We invite newly formed companies, as well as well-developed companies previously formed who presently have an overpriced resident agent, or a registered agent whose quality and dependability may be open to question.

If you are in the process of forming a new company yourself (or qualifying your company to do business in a new state yourself) we can help you over and above registered agent services --- just check the first box when you order online. (If you want legal assistance in the formation or qualification process, you may want to contact 4inc.com, which is also affiliated with the Inc.Link® network of corporate professionals.)
